00:00Welcome everyone. So yes, a lot of people thought that the answer for this question is supposed to be 1 by 2 because this is what 6 divided by 3 is 2.
00:09Here also we have 2. So 2 divided by 2 is 1 and then you just have to do 2. So 2 divided by 2 is 1. 1 divided by 2. The answer is 1 by 2.
00:19No, that is not how these things work. The first thing what you need to realize while doing these kind of problems is that you need to follow the rules of BODMAS.
00:31And what does BODMAS say? The brackets has to be done first. So 6 divided by 3 and we have here what we have is there is no sign between 3 and the bracket means it is multiplication.
00:44And this bracket needs to be done first. So 6 divided by 3 is 2 divided by 2. Now at this point lot of people get into the confusion of you know BOD division should be done first and some people think multiplication should be done first especially for people who are following PEMDES.
01:03They think that multiplication needs to be done first. No. Actually division and multiplication both hold equal precedence. So in sums like these you just go from left to right.
01:14Whatever operation happens first from your left hand side has to be done first. So 6 divided by 3 is what? 2 multiplied by 2 divided by 2.
01:23So 2 multiplied by 2 is 4 divided by 2. So answer for this question is supposed to be just 2. I hope this is very very clear to everyone.
01:34That's it for today. I will see you in the next video.
